An electron has a charge of slightly under -1.6 x 10-19 Coulombs (−1.602176487 x 10-19 C to be more exact); the opposite charge would simply be +1.6 x 10-19 C, and both the proton and the positron have such a charge.

How does the electric charge on the proton compare with the electric charge on the electron?
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
What is protan?
A proton is a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign.
Compared to a proton an electron has?
The same quantity of a charge and the opposite sign.
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.
How do protons and electrons differ in their electronic charge?
Protons and electrons have equal and opposite charge of the Elementary charge e, with protons being e+ and electrons e-
The electric charge of a photon is how many times stronger the charge of an electron?
The electric charges of the proton and electron are equal in magnitude (size, strength), and opposite in sign.
Does a proton have a bigger charge than an electron?
No, the absolute charge of proton is equal to the absolute charge of electrons. however, their relative charge is opposite in sign.
Does the positron has the same charge as an electron?
No, although their respective charges are exactly equal in size, they are opposite in sign.
Proton?
A stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign

How you defined briefly negative charge without using mass of electron?
The charge has nothing to do with the mass, so there's no difficulty: A negative charge is one having the same sign as the charge on an electron. If you don't want electrons mentioned at all: A negative charge is one having the opposite sign as the charge on a proton.
Do protons have the same magnitude as electrons?
Yes. A proton has the same magnitude of charge as an electron, but the charge is of the opposite sign.

What is the charge and mass of a electron?
The charge of an electron is -1. Specifically, it is about -1.602 x 10-19 coulombs. The mass of an electron is about 9.109 x 10-31 kilograms, or about one 1836th that of a proton.
Is the charge on the electrons far greater than the positive charge in the atom?
Electrons have an electric charge of −1.602 × 10−19 C,[2] which is used as a standard unit of elementary charge for subatomic particles. Within the limits of experimental accuracy, the electron charge is identical to the charge of a proton, but with the opposite sign.[48] As the symbol e is used for the constant of electrical charge, the electron is commonly symbolized by e−, where the minus sign indicates the negative charge.[2] This is what I found in Wikipedia. This would say that your answer sould be no.
